Assessment of the Effectiveness of Social Management in the Region

The paper deals with the problem of scientific discourse about social management and the need to monitor the social sphere. The paper states the need for monitoring the social sphere on the basis of sociological analysis. The monitoring of the social sphere is an important component of the quality of public administration and local self-government. The results of the study demonstrate the change in the quality of life of the Northern regions of Russia in the conditions of transformations of public institutions, the importance of socio-cultural identities, the level and quality of life. The research task was focused on the economic evaluation of the social well-being of the population of the Komi Republic, the social positions of the Komi and Russian ethnic groups regarding the economic crisis and its consequences for the economic and social spheres of the region. Currently, the social management of the region largely depends on the formal and informal relations of public authorities and corporate business. The Republic of Komi is a stable social and territorial community, according to ethnic, religious and other reasons. Despite socio-economic difficulties, every fifth respondent estimates interethnic relations in the republic as good ones. The research shows a direct connection between the assessment of the socioeconomic situation and the mood of people. The financial standing of the respondents is also directly dependent on education: the lower the educational level, the lower the incomes and financial standing. The analysis shows that the young generation (18-34) is the most optimistic about the social and economic situation in the region and more likely to believe that the mood of people and the social well-being of citizens have improved in recent years.
